Hi All;

Thanks for the kind words!

Just realized I should have posted under "fly dressings" instead of here.

Recipie: Mustad 3366 size 12, Gutterman silk sewing thread, 2 wraps for abdomen, Pearsalls tying thread, Tups dubbing mix posted by Ray "Letumgo" Parker under his Tups variants post: http://www.flymphforum.com/phpBB3/viewt ... f=6&t=1081

Ray, I really like that recipie, love how easy it is to dub and get that "rangy" look.

Bill Bailey pointed me to this site http://www.flyleaves.dk/tup%27s_indispensable.htm which I should have found by myself years ago. The spaniel fur in the photo looks almost exactly the same colour as my opossum under-fur. No need to look for that dog any more...
